It is possible they have one and are being smart by not serving for the first 90 days (the probationary period).
I knew some places years ago here in Texas that would get the license but not serve for precisely that reason. As I recall, a violation while in that probationary period was almost an auto-revoke of the license...some would get the license but not open the establishment for the 90 days.
There are also some liability issues that can enter the equation with the BYOB practices, especially with the heightened scrutiny in Harris County on over-serving. Remember, just in the past few weeks, we have seen multiple arrests of bar staff for having over-served and then had the patron go out and get into a fatality crash.

Can see that coming to bite them squarely in the ass...seems that everyone wants to push the envelope, and it is that continuing to push that will run the biggest risk of killing off the golden goose.
